Shallow Ras Mohammed drift with caves and glassfish
Jackfish Alley is a Ras Mohammed drift dive built around two overhead caves, a sandy alley, and a jackfish-and-barracuda cleaning-station profile. It suits intermediate divers who are comfortable with mandatory drift timing and careful buoyancy through the cave sections.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Treat both caves as overhead environments, keep a tight buoyancy profile in the alley, and respect the drift line because the current is part of the dive.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only and drift mandatory; the cave sections are best left to divers comfortable with overhead environments and group control.
Legal Notes
Stay on the planned drift route, avoid touching the cave walls or ceiling, and use the guide’s timing for entry and pickup.

Scuba Diving
A shallow drift dive with two cave sections, a sandy alley, and a glassfish-packed cleaning station that suits confident intermediate teams.
Freediving
Freediving is not a good match because the site is built around drift control and overhead cave sections.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the right fit; the interesting parts sit on the drift line and inside the caves.
